i remember doug from my first year 1968-1969, he was the sgt of the color guard & i knew him from being in the band.his father was involved in trucking & doug would hitch a ride on an 18 wheeler to go home. so sad to hear of his passing. a very kind & gentle person to all.Harrell Guy Graham (1967)
1967. We called everyone by their last names so he was Parker.
He was so funny and made us laugh a lot. He had WWII memorabilia in his trunk—US military stuff, German military stuff--and he would wear these things—helmet, medals, maybe a real uniform-- and parade around acting out funny scenes, saluting, marching, barking out orders and, well….whatever would come into his creative mind. He cracked us up in laughter.
I wish I had stayed in contact with him. I took a handful of pictures of guys in the dorm and Parker is in a couple of them.
I’m smiling now just remembering his antics. Great times…great memories.

I only knew Doug for one year (67-68). During that year I was a member of the color guard. He was nice to me and helped me with life as a cadet at CMA. RIP in peace, Parker....
